He used to be a Greek slave. He used to live in a rotting orphanage. He used to have one friend to call family... he used to be nameless. 

Now, he has found himself in a whole new world. A world of war, corruption, and knights. In this world, trust is hard to come by and tradition stands against him.

His trials to becoming the Golden Knight have only just begun. It's going to take more than courage and a learned accent to achieve his dream of becoming the world's greatest hero.

At least now he has a name... this is the story of Jaktorius Chrysós.

"Are you stalking me?" His deep voice asked. "You wish, that would mean I actually thought about you enough to wonder where you are." I looked away smugly. Max moved closer to me until his face was right in front of mine. "You're saying you don't think about me?" He smirked, fully knowing what the proximity was doing to me. "I don't, why? Did you want me to?" I Regained my composure as I moved even closer, our lips nearly touching. ~~~ Alexa is a normal girl who just wanted to get through school without any trouble. She didn't want any attention. She just wanted to leave those nightmares behind, forgetting what happened before. However, all of that changes when her mum gets married and she's forced to move to a new city. Leaving everything behind, she hopes to blend in and go to university but life has other plans. In the woods, lurking in the shadows is someone who can't stay away and will definitely ruin all of Alexa's plans and change her life showing her that things aren't always as they seem. How can two people that hate each other be mates? To add to the mix, parties, late night discussions and a school trip is sure to add drama to her life. Warning: this story is sometimes very cliché and has a few of my own twists on it. The guy might make you cry, laugh or blush and wish guys like him existed in real life. (Well, at least further into the story.) This story contains swearing and some slightly mature content. You have been warned.

A Queen for the Frost Giant (Legends of Rahasia Book 0) by FaeWhit
51 parts Complete
The giant beneath the mountain has awakened after three centuries' slumber and devours some of my fathers' best men every morning. He will continue taking lives, one for every giant our ancient ruler killed to steal his land. But I know this ice giant, this jötunn, as Fell Hallvarðr. He came to me as a regular boy in dreams. He rumbles towards the citadel, tall as five men stacked shoulder on shoulder, I hold out a hand. "Fell Hallvarðr," I call out, ignoring the screams of horror from the warriors around me, "I place you under my royal protection, as the old ways of Cloelia Regina called upon. None of my people shall harm you so long as I live." The people cry out against me, but Fell falls to one knee, dropping me gently to the earth. "Then you shall live, little human-traitor." He replies, "in return for what?" "I shall become queen. And you shall fight for me." * Queen Cassia is a royal embarrassment. People snicker at her, knowing her lungs are too weak to draw breath, much less fight. Her parents fear she will not have the strength to undergo the ceremony to become queen, and that the royal line will have to be passed to an outsider. But all this is disrupted when the giant beneath the ice mountain, thought to be a myth, awakens and attack their city of Ymir. The rest of the cities along the Borealis are in rebellion against the main kingdom of Idriola, and Cassia aims to earn her birthright by uniting them all. * Prequel to "Legends of Rahasia Series" (Priestess for the Blind God, Princess for the Witch Doctor, Pirate for the Dead Goddess). This is the tale of how Cassia became Cassia Boadicea Regina of Idriola, the ruler of blood and ice. The fearsome matriarch of the North & conqueror-queen.

ᴀɴɴᴀʙᴇᴛʜ ɪꜱ ɪɴᴅᴇᴘᴇɴᴅᴇɴᴛ. She's living the life. No, she doesn't work at the architecture firm of her dreams, or any architecture firm, and she hasn't been in a steady relationship since she was a teenager. But who says a bartender can't be successful? Her biggest problem is the corpse that still hasn't gone to Tartarus. Oh, the wedding invite that came in the mail? No worries. She threw that out yesterday. ɴɪᴄᴏ ɪꜱ ꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅʟʏ. No, really! He's everyone's favorite counselor at Camp Half-Blood. The bachelor's life is everything and more. He's actually looking forward to being a groomsman in his half-sister's wedding, even though there's sure to be tons of awkward encounters. Bring it on. He's not scared anymore. He'll even buy the next round. ᴘᴇʀᴄʏ ɪꜱ ʀᴇɢʀᴇᴛꜰᴜʟ. Pining after a love from ten years ago does that to a guy. He's become a shell of the hero he once used to be. His fatal flaw has become his downfall. He's turning down job opportunities to care for his mother, spending his nights watching Wheel of Fortune, and eating leftover lasagna. Maybe a New Rome-style vacation is just what he needs to find himself again. ᴡɪʟʟ ɪꜱ ᴛʜʀɪᴠɪɴɢ. His internship at the hospital is amazing, his roommate is awesome, and he's not regretting his decision to move to LA. However, a trip to New Rome goes wrong when ghosts from his past threaten his new lifestyle. He'll have no part of it. Is this his optimistic nature, or his inability to commit? Ten years have passed since the war against Gaea and the giants, so everyone's married with kids, right? Wrong. This isn't one of those sunshine and smiles and Perca-babies all the time stories.

16 parts Ongoing

(An Original Novel): New Chapter everyday at 10:00 A.M. I never asked to be a hero. But when you're thrown into a world of gods, ancient magic, and ruthless power struggles, fate doesn't exactly care what you want. My name is Adrian Evans, and just a few weeks ago, I was an ordinary teenager. Now, I'm in Ogygia-a hidden land ruled by a royal family that serves the Goddess Ravanna, where monsters prowl and divine beings pull the strings. I came here hoping to become a knight, but that dream shattered the moment a god's voice echoed in my head, ordering me to seek a legendary sword. It turns out, my ties to this world run deeper than I ever imagined. Betrayal, ancient prophecies, and secrets about my family's past have made me a pawn in a game I barely understand. Now, I'm stuck between the schemes of gods and royals, trying to navigate deadly politics while whispers of an impending darkness grow louder each day. And whether I like it or not, I'm at the center of it all. I never wanted to be a hero, but I might not have a choice. Because if I don't find the strength to fight back, I'm not the only one who will fall-this world will too.
